Fault zones: Geological faults are related to an increase in weathering and loosening up of the surrounding rock, which causes an increase in hydraulic routing. This lowers the rigidity of the rock and increases the risk for constructing new buildings. In the event of an earthquake, even dislocations are possible along the fault. Seismic refraction measurements enable the mapping of seismic velocities and related material properties. The lateral variations of these velocities then indicate the location of fault ...

Site classification according to EC8 and DIN4149. In order to quantify the design load for buildings due to an earthquake the Eurocode 8 (EC8) and the DIN4149 require the classification of the ground. The dominating or average shear wave velocity in depths down to 30 m is most often used for this classification. Beyond that the standards request certain design features as flexible foundation beams based on the class of the subsoil which are affecting the costs of a building. A seismic survey can often reduce the ...
